1 SAMUEL 1
There are many mothers mentioned in the Bible. Eve and
Elisabeth, Rebekah and Rachel, Sarah and Hagar, Ruth and Naomi, and many, many
more- both good and bad. There are few mothers, in my opinion, that shine like
Hannah, the mother of Samuel.
I. SHE WAS SURE OF
HER OWN SALVATION [1 Sm. 2:1, 1 Jn. 5:9-13, Rm. 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9-13]
D. L. Moody said he never knew an effective soul-winner who
doubted their own salvation.
II. SHE WAS POWERFUL
IN HER PRAYERS [1 Sm. 1:10-18, Psalm 81:10, 1 Th. 5:17, Lk. 18:1, Jer.
33:3, Jm. 4:2]
A wise woman will pray for children, then pray for her
children, and pray with her children. John R. Rice said, "All our failures
are prayer failures".
III. SHE WAS A WOMAN
OF HER WORD [1 Sm. 1:11, 24-28; Eccl. 5:4-5]
IV. SHE WAS METICULOUS
IN HER MOTHERHOOD [1 Sm. 1:22, 2:12, 3:13]
She didn't leave it to chance... or Eli! She raised Samuel
right from his earliest days (as did Moses' mother). Not the school, not the
church, not the world---the HOME!
V. SHE WORKED AT THE
WILL AND WORD OF GOD! [1 Sm. 2:2-10, 2 Tm. 1:5, 3:15]
VI. SHE CONTINUED TO
CARE [1 Sm. 2:19, Jude 22]
Many is the person who has testified their mother's prayers
have followed them.
